Not too hijack the thread...but doesn't barre work mostly work the lower body??? How is it for upper body??? I'm counting on all my walking and along with portion control (calorie counting) and more traditional strength work to get rid of the excess fat TIA Back to your scheduled thread

RE: the upper body, I find barre work seriously lacking. There are some pullups in Fluidity, but I definitely add upper body (squeeze type) when I am on a barre rotation (this is my first, LOL!).

It doesn't really matter what type of workout you do if you eat too much, and that includes "clean eating." When I cut my calories, I can "eat dirty" and still lose weight.

red - i agree. the only barre type workouts that actually have good UB work is kathy smith's total body lift, and element ballet. element ballet - you're not lifting any weights, but she's got you holding up your arms a lot. one of the 10 minute solutions w/suzanne bowen has you holding UP HIGH light weights FOREVER. can't recall which one that was, and it's only 10 minutes!!
